Stuck while installing..!

[Abhishek P]

I'm trying to install the tech preview version 9926 after downloading the ISO.
The process started, and I agreed to terms and conditions, but next it starts checking for updates, and doesn't continue. It is stuck at the "checking for updates"screen for a really long time. Anyone else faced this problem?
Can you help

I did that, and still no use.
Is ther any way to skip the "checking for updates" screen?

Not that I know of, I personally would recomend backing up your files and settings and performing a clean install. Ive had issues with the preview on upgrade installations where features like the action center do not actually open. best bet is to do a clean install
